Hmmm - I kind of wish he'd never posted those.
No Sean you can't justify another tank - especially not a big one!!!

I know they are beauties arent they!

Thought it might be This is why im finding it hard to find tank mates for the Pearls. Think livebearers is about all ive found so far. I think a barb tank will be more favourable for options for me.

50/50 mix with RO will work. You know you want to

Here are some photos of the 90g from 2013 and 2015. The more recent photos didn't turn out, light was screwy, my small inexpensive digital camera (now well past a decade) decides when it will or won't take decent photos.

Thank you very much. And yes, there are Emperor Tetras in the 2013 photo, but I had got rid of them by 2015. They were quite feisty and started nipping fins--bad habit with Congo Tetras in the tank, so I moved them out as soon as I saw it, into the spare 20g and gave them to another aquarist for free, and with a warning about their behaviour.

This is a very informative thread! Yes indeed, I would want to setup a 20 long, so I could have shoaling fish.

I have a question for the “professionals”. Can you use a filter made for a 10 gallon tank, in a 20 gallon tank? (Long)

Depending upon the tank and fish species/numbers, yes. You can have no filter and it could be fine, again depending upon what you have in the tank.

Little update...

Driftwood and some plants gone in tonight (amazon sword & Hornwort)

Pygmy chain swords and some Rotala indica on order. Once there in i will order some more foreground and floating plants and see where i am

Got to decide on a background still. Was going full on matt black but not sure its best if i have Odessa's with the black stripe going through them.

Well I definitely want a mixture. I was think 5-6 silvertip tetras and my Albino bristle nose pleco. Along with snails and some shrimp. Would adding a Ram in there be an over stock? And if so, what would I need to remove?

Careful with that amazon sword. Mine won't tolerate that much light.
